Blända: Powerplay

Blända: Powerplay was an artistic manifestation held at VIDA Arena in Växjö where I, together with seven other artists and designers, was invited to work on equality and unavailable public spaces.

The forbidden space of the ice, normally dominated by sports, macho heroes, money and hierarchies was transformed into a space for anyone to enter. The room defies conventions and invites the audience to create new rules for the space.

​Trembling on the cold ice, the warm and stable circle provides a safe place. But it might as well be a place for the opposite. The participant is now in the centre of attention, and the hierarchy of the room is suddenly experienced from a new perspective.

The manifestation in the arena was one out of three artistic collaborations within the bigger art project ”Blända” by Anna-Karin Arvidsson about women’s right to be heard and take place in public spaces.
